Yes, that's exactly the arrogance that is against Islamic etiquettes of Sunnah, and this is exactly the arrogance, that IMO, Islamic God does not appreciate.
I don't think if the prophet (saw) would've the same sentiments of arrogance as you are displaying here. These are not Islamic etiquettes.
How is this arrogance? I feel bad for people that before praying they have to appease others. Islam has made it simple, pray anywhere you like.
Rizwan is praying on a public area, legally no one can stop him. Plus, he never obstructed anyones path.
No he may not end up peeing his pants - but if some crazy head in the street starts cussing at him, and sends humiliating remarks to his God and his prophet (saw), then it won't be a pleasant situation.
Again, illogical. So the fear that others will get angry, you will not follow your religion?
First of all, God isnt some small entity that humiliating remakes would destroy him. Second, if someone is getting offended that is that persons problem, not rizwans.
Your argument is like the those people that justify rape by saying it was the womens fault because she wore those clothes that made her get raped, but the logic fails when its men vs men rape.
And that's one of the reasons why the city of Boston or New York has provided designated spaces where Muslims can pray. One should use basic common sense. Not sure, why this concept seems so hard for you to understand? But then again, a third world mindset - not surprising.
THird world mindset? Sorry, but this only shows your mindset, kissing up to others and not forgetting common sense.
First of all, Rizwan doesnt live there, he is not aware where the mosques are. You guys are talking from the comfort of your laptops, while RIzwan was travelling. 2nd this is, it was MAGRIB, MAGRIB has the shortest prayer window, you have about 15 - 30 mins to get it done.
Now it could be he was trying ti find a mosque, didnt found one, so he decided to pray at the last minute. There are alot of factors here, but you and many other are judging withouth knowing what conditions he was in.
Exactly!
You should take this lecture and give it to your fellow country men in Pakistan to not make a scene if a visiting western couple starts having sex in a public park.
And while you are at it, also ask them to not put metal chains on a steel glass for public water drinking coolers.
You should take this argument and preach it to the westerns that if someone is praying than dont make a scene of insulting.
Its funny, how you want people coming from thrid world countries to ignore the sex and kissing in public, but still justifying that the natives living here will get offended by your namaz so dont pray at all.
In places like Boston and NYC, the real estate tax is astronomical and a major source of govt's revenue. But when a building is designated by same govt as a "house of worship" (Church, Mandir, Masjid etc), it gets huge tax exemptions - so the govt takes a big hit on revenue loss.
For that "two minutes", the city of Boston has taken large financial losses in designating 15 mosques in the 5 mile radius - use common sense and take advance of it.
Yeh, thats an argument that all foreign muslims should give for not praying.
Usuaully, you guys dont care about taxes infact complain. But when it comes to prayer than you start invovking this to justify not to pray.
Funny thing is all those that advocate taxes around here, still file for a tax refund...............
Islam is not about chest thumping and mere arrogance. And I would actually understood if a Pakistani would've displayed arrogance and hot headedness if the current Pakistan was some shinning light of an example for the rest of the world - but for now, its' like "Pichwaray mein dum nahi, hum kisi sey kum nahi".
inferiority complex
So because there is political issues, thus pakistanis shouldn't pray in public, but if it was a saudi sheikh, it would had been justified, cause of his country's status?
That is your inferiority complex.
Do you have the same attitude in the company where Indians work, just because they are economically better so you do yes sir to them?
2 mins of Namaz, the passerbys of new york had no issue, but so called muslims of Pakistani descendants have problems.
